Abstract
It is the objective of the GENESYS project to develop a cross-domain reference architecture for embedded systems that meets the requirements and constraints documented in the ARTEMIS SRA. These ARTEMIS requirements and constraints have been grouped under the following seven topics:
composability, networking and security, robustness, diagnosis and maintenance, integrated resource management, evolvability and self-organization. Special emphasis is placed on the composability aspect of emerging architectures, such that unintended side-effects during the composition of components can be avoided.
The Time-Triggered System-on-Chip architecture (TTSoC) is a GENESYS-compliant architecture with the objective of providing a predictable integrated execution environment for the component-based design of many different types of embedded applications (e.g., automotive, avionics, consumer electronics). At the core of this architecture is a time-triggered network-on-a-chip for the predictable interconnection of heterogeneous components. A component can be a self-contained computer, including system and application software, an FPGA, or a custom hardware unit. By providing a single uniform interface to all types of components for the exchange of messages, the architecture supports the component-based design of large applications and enables the massive reuse of components. The time-triggered network-on-a-chip offers inherent fault isolation to facilitate the seamless integration of independently developed components, possibly with different criticality levels.
